The cardigan is ready. Kampsun valmis.

I am happy to report I finished the UFO! It took 'just' four years. ;)

The cardigan is knitted top down using The Contiguous Method. This was my first attempt to start knitting this way, a very interesting method. I am a big fan of top down seamless knits.

I used a mosaic knit pattern for the colour-work in the bottom part. It is easy to knit as just one colour of the yarn is used at time. The fabric is not so thick like in stranded knitting and less yarn is used.

About Me

I am an Estonian lady living, knitting and designing knitwear in UK.
I even can’t remember when I learnt to knit. My mum knitted socks and mittens, so did my granny and my great auntie liked to knit lace tops in fine cotton thread. My daughter knitted socks, mittens and several sweaters when in high school. I hope one day she will pick up knitting again as she’s got lots of great knitting books to inherit. I prefer reference books to pattern books, they are so inspirational. I love to design my own patterns and I have started to write them down now. Most of my patterns get test knitted. If there are any problems, please feel free to contact me.
Happy knitting!
